  • Has GM Changed Its Tune Yet? [View article]
    Yes, because selling high profit vehicles that people want when you ahve the money and the vehicle is all tooled is a VERY flawed strategy. It could lead to profitability.

    Will someone let these dopes in on the fact that Prius sales have TANKED, that the hybrids that made little sense at $4.00 a gallon make no financial sense at all at $1.75 a gallon?

    Some people need trucks. (Was your driveway plowed by a Prius?) The problem with truck sales is trucks last over 10 years. In tough times they can hang on to their trucks a while, but that just pents up demand.

    300 Hybrid Escalades? Wow, they found 300 people who want a $60,000 vehicle and yet want people to think they care about the gas they use. Good for them.

    Look at their car sales. The Malibu (midsize) and Impala (full size) cars are way up. Why, because they get good gas mileage without being a little toilet.

    My greatest fear for GM is that with these loans they will be forced to build the little crap boxes that noone buys and it will run them out of business.
